5.00An excellent trip with Thanh answering many questions we had. A great cruise on the Mekong River and small boat ride down the waterways. A tuk tuk ride through villages. The lunch we had was delicious followed by a rest in hammocks. Visiting local people tasting honey, coconut candy. Seeing all the fruit producing trees and tasting chocolate. A very worthwhile trip.
Worthwhile, enjoyable and relaxed.
